Orange is the New Black

Orange is the New Black

by | Mar 5, 2015 | Fashion, Style

I can honestly say out of all the colors I typically wear, this bold bright orange dress was only one of a few orange garments in my closet.  There used to be such a negative association attached to wearing orange and black, which I’m sure is from Halloween.  Think about it!  No one wants to walk around looking like a big ole pumpkin. Over the past few years, orange exploded on the fashion scene and became more popular due to two major reasons.  The first is because of the Orange is the New Black Netflix original series based on the book of the same title.  The ratings generated more viewers in its first week than any other Netflix original series, and the catchy title is what caused orange to be first looked at from a fashion standpoint. Orange then made its debut and ruled the runways at New York Fashion week Spring 2014, and has been popular ever since.  I think it’s here to stay! Are you a fan or orange?  Have you tried introducing anything orange into your wardrobe?  I would love to read your comments below.

Ladylike: Modern Art Deco Style

Ladylike: Modern Art Deco Style

by | Mar 2, 2015 | Fashion, Style

Happy Monday! For today’s style inspiration, I’m bringing back the classic Art Deco style with a modern-day twist. The Art Deco style started in the early 1920’s and lasted until right before World War II.  During that time, there was a sense of excitement and expectancy with anticipation of a future filled with promise.  The women’s liberation movement, a prosperous economy, and key improvements in technology were attributes that led to progressive modernity, luxury and leisure – all of which was a new way of life.  The fashion during that time was simply gorgeous! I’m wearing a dramatic asymmetrical winter white cloche hat, adorned with feathers and diamonds, which I paired with a luxurious yellow cape stole wrap.  Both pieces are typical of the Art Deco style.  The cape stole wrap is usually worn over a party dress or ball gown, but for a more up to date look I kept with the same color scheme and paired it with a pencil skirt. It just goes to show you can create a modern look with a little vintage flair.   I hope it inspires you to bring back pieces from the past and incorporate them into your wardrobe today.   Here are the outfit details.

Be A BOSS

Be A BOSS

by | Feb 24, 2015 | Fashion, Style

Being a BOSS is a frame of mind! Today I had a business meeting and wore my Christian Louboutin Pigalle pumps. These pumps give me a pioneering spirit, make me feel energized, excite my emotions and motivate me to take action. The Pigalle is named after one of Louboutin’s favorite neighborhoods in Paris.  One of his most iconic styles, they have been around for a while, but they will always be my favorite. I paired my Pigalle’s with a grey skirt and red blouse and felt like a BOSS. The Christian Louboutin Pigalle can be found here.  I hope you like them as much as I do! 🙂   Other outfit details: Blouse: Bryan Bradley Skirt:  L.A.M.B Handbag:  Dover (Vintage) (Revolver Boutique)   Love, The Ultimate...
